🧠 Hydra Head is the first in a suite of Hydra protocols that aim to increase network scalability. It's an L2 solution that works as an off-chain mini ledger between a small group of participants – similar to the main on-chain ledger but faster, more cost-efficient.
#Cardano
1/n 🔎 Hydra Heads are fast, scalable, isomorphic, and customizable.

Hydra Head transactions and ledger rules are similar to #Cardano’s mainnet, which allows easy support by existing systems like #DApps and wallets.
